Best Teams Not To Win A Title: How '74 Maryland started it all
Posted Sep 24, 2014
When they hatched this project to identify the best teams that failed to win an NCAA title, SI.com college basketball mavens Ted Keith and David Gardner circulated a preliminary list of starcrossed powerhouses tripped up by the one-and-done snares of the bracket. The names and dates of those schools make for a roll call deep, comprehensive and redolent of disappointment. And it led me, as the old guy around this place, to object that one of the best such teams wasn’t on the list.
